    I hope this doesn't sound too weird but you helped me doing my grocery shopping today so thank you very much. Let me explain: I have anxiety and panic attacks and one of my fears is going into a supermarket. It gets better when I'm there but leaving the house to do the shopping is hard. Today I put on my headphones and played this video while leaving. I felt so much less alone. Thank you ❤️.

    When I was a child, I used to go get bread from the local bakery during my summer vacation in my grandparents village. By the time I reached home, half the bread was eaten (by me!!!) so I had to go all the way back to buy a 2nd loaf of bread 🤣🤣

    I decided start growing most of my produce so I could save some money. It’s pretty expensive here in the supermarkets! I couldn’t believe that amount of food you were able to get for less than $100 USD.
    We typically buy direct from farmers - half a side of beef, a pig and some chickens and keep them in our big deep freeze. Additionally, I typically get whatever else I need at weekly farmer’s markets.
    I live in rural Manitoba, Canada for reference.

    I love that you made food shopping a real family outing. That wouldn’t really be typical here in the US. As far as food costs here, we have had pretty significant price increases, sadly, with no end in sight. Watching your video is a reminder though that food shopping can/should go back to basics-Americans buy too much pre-prepared or partially prepared foods. Our health and wallets would be better served to shop as you did. Would you please video what you make with your purchases today?

    I live in New York City, where it is very common to shop the way you do -- at a butcher for meat, green market for produce, bakery, cheese store, etc. It is usually much better quality than what you get in a supermarket. Our prices are higher, though. One difference is that I walk everywhere when I shop for my groceries and carry things home in a backpack. There are large supermarkets for people who choose that way of shopping. But I like to help keep the small independent shops in business!

    We have road side farmers stalls here in Australia too (I live in an agricultural area). The produce there is usually much cheaper, fresher and better than in the shops as it is grown locally, very fresh and not force ripened or stored for a long time. The cheese was much cheaper for you than we get here. I can get chickens for a similar price. If pork and beef is on a special I might come close to those prices. So great you are supporting small business like this. Some of the countryside reminded me of here. It looked like a lovely day out. Enjoy your party. xx

Now, it's big impersonal supermarkets. It's so nice you are in such a beautiful place. We live in the state of Georgia in the US. Right now groceries are very high in price.

If you can afford quality or organic the prices go up from there. Some is seasonal but the prices are high for low grade produce that often rots before it ripens.
    These days the prices have gone sky high and the quality of the goods is in the crapper.

    Everything looked so fresh and delicious especially the meat. Your family is eating well when your emphasis is on fruit and vegetables. That is a lot of food for $99 US. I hope your celebration is fun and you have many more. Wished we could of gotten a peek at baby girl. Maybe next time. Take care and God bless your beautiful family.

    In Western Australia, the meat alone would cost A$100.00. The rest together would also be A$120 - A$150. Freshly baked bread is only in loaf form, buns, rolls, round loaf oblong loaf. Can ask for loaf to be sliced if buying at an artisan bakery. Otherwise most bread comes sliced and in a plastic bag. Another point of difference I noticed is here newborn baby seats have to face the other way around (baby facing the back of the car) until the child is six months old, then the seat can face the same way you have yours now. We also drive on the opposite side of the road to you. 🤗 Thank you for sharing. Love seeing your family. Take care and God bless. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier🐶

    I come from Romania, we have roadside shops, which are actually just vendors , and the at home shops pretty similar to the Georgian ones. I got a bit actually melancholic seeing those places, feels and looks a lot like home,
    Of course there are so many shops like penny kaufland real etc, it' s where we would buy the chemicals like detergents cleaning supplies, some others things that might be cheaper.
    The prices are a lot bigger.
    I think a lot of the products are quite more expensive than in Germany which is where I currently live.

    Hey Vika, Tolya, Agatha and Adelina! Great video, That was a TON of food for such a price! Also, it's the harvest season right now, and you were shopping local markets close to the farms, so probably that's why there was so much at such great prices. In a metro area two hours from farms, it would probably cost more. Lots of prep and cooking ahead, looks like. Wishing you a happy Georgian Celebration!

    That was cool. It reminds me of farmers markets here in Ireland, that are still like this.
    Thank God for Lidl and Aldi though. The food they have here in Ireland is amazing quality. For those that don't know, they are major German supermarkets that are all over Europe, and really multiplied very fast here in Ireland over the last 15 or so years since they first came here.
    But I still love the small local food stalls.
    That's a very impressive amount of food for just under $100 US though. But I think you could still get the same, for roughly the same price here in Ireland, maybe.

      @@ginger1549 🙂 yeah. I forgot they appeared in the USA too.
      Apparently they started in post WW2 Germany, when everyone was really poor, so there was a need to offer people food at the lowest possible prices. So I get why that spread around the world. They sort of dominated over the local supermarket chains here in Ireland, like "SuperValue".

    Hello. Writing from a large city in Mexico. We had a strong earthquake here yesterday and just had a big aftershock at 3:30 am. Seeing your video has helped me calm down. Food prices are much cheaper here than in US, more similar to Georgia although recently after the Pandemic certain items that were always cheap in Mexico have skyrocketed such as avocados and lemons.
    So good to see you happy and healthy with your growing family! Best wishes always.

    I live in South Dakota, a state in the midwest or the plains of the US.

Two whole chickens would be about $10 and the beef, well, cut like that for shashlik (shish-ka-bob) would have been about $25 all by itself. I just love your videos about grocery shopping, it's so much fun to compare. It's so great that you enjoy cooking with fresh foods and everything you've shown us over the years has looked so delicious. My husband and I are now fans of buckwheat!

May-October I would say. The price is quite a bit higher here though. My favorite thing to get from Farm Stands in the early fall are huckleberries! They are a wild blueberry that grows in the mountains around here. They are so yummy in baked goods! The price this year jumped up to 22.00 a pound! I only bought 2 pounds. I freeze them in 1/2 cup portions and then use them in baking all year. Things like bananas are about .50 a pound and cream cheese is about 4.00 a pound. That delicious looking bread would be around 5.00 here. Thank you for the fun video!
